Celebrate Halloween the fair trade way

Give out candy that gives back this Halloween! One of our favorite Fairtrade chocolate brands, Tony’s Chocolonely, makes individually wrapped, kid-sized “Tiny Tony’s” chocolate bars with caramel and sea salt. Buy online or look for them near you with Tony’s Store Locator!

During Halloween, it’s always a treat to see kids dressed up as their favorite animals. If you’re handing out candy this year, choose Endangered Species Chocolate to support species like lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). Every purchase helps raise awareness about at-risk animals across the globe, and the cocoa is certified Fairtrade, so it’s doing good for people too.

While pumpkin buckets are always classic, instead consider buying a Fairtrade tote bag for your child to collect their candy in. They support ethical trade, and they hold a ton of sweets. These totes from Terra Thread are made from 100% organic Fairtrade cotton, and even have a hidden inside pocket to stash away your favorite candy before anyone else can steal it!

And Tag Aloha has ethically sourced “bum bags” to keep your hands free for grabbing more treats or guiding little ones to the next candy jackpot.

Halloween isn’t just about collecting candy — you can also make your own sweet treats! Navitas Organics is an awesome Fairtrade brand that sells cacao powder and cacao butter. Their products are perfect for making Halloween-themed brownies, cookies, or cake.

Another favorite brand, Lily’s Chocolates, sells delicious, Stevia sweetened baking chips in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, and semi-sweet flavors. Anyone up for chocolate-covered pretzels?
